They generally have our number and I was not impressed by Northwestern's play vs their season ranking earlier in the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingintheNorth4 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 I've been weighing the pros and cons of Illinois hiring Bret Bielema. While he's an Illinois native that has familiarly with recruiting in B1G territory from his time at Wisconsin, he got fired for being a .500 coach in the SEC.

DireWolfSpirit Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 From an ESPN FBS article- "If Clemson and Alabama end up meeting in the national championship, it would be their fifth playoff meeting in the past six years." "Talk about a lack of competitive balance across a sport with 130 FBS teams." [endquote] I think the article mentions that the usual 4 (includes the Irish and Buckeyes) picked for this year's playoff have been the selects for 20 of 28 slots since the latest playoff format has been instituted. NCAAF stayin on snoooozzzzze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhom Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Suppose anyone would struggle if their top four receiving targets weren't playing, but yeah... that was rough. Its one of the things that I dislike most about the playoff system. It has made playing in "secondary" bowl games an afterthought for most teams.

For some, but there wasn't quite the "We just lost the conference championship and our chance at the playoffs... so #$&% it" mentality that there is now.

Maithanet Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I haven't watched a single minute of college sports since March, because the greed and exploitation of college sports combined with COVID risks was just a bridge too far for me. And I'll be honest, I don't miss it much. The NCAA can fuck right off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nictarion Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 I’m just glad Fields is balling out. There could be 3 QB’s off the board when the Bengals pick. I had pretty much given up hope on getting Penei Sewell, but there’s still a chance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
